The name of the Gathering Place Brewing Company, like the city of Milwaukee in which it is based, is derived from the native Potawatomi word Minwakingwhich means “gathering place on the water.” Since 2017, Gathering Place Brewing Company has been creating vibrant and unique ales and lagers that reflect the vibrant and unique community we call home. The Riverwest brewery offers a rotating tap list of tasty craft beers with unique flavors and aromas. The warm, industrial taproom creates the perfect atmosphere to get together and spend time. Join us at the bar, built from an old basketball court.

Haven’t been yet? Then here’s the perfect opportunity to bring some fun into the work week at a casual local microbrewery. Urban Milwaukee members are invited to join us at Gathering Place Brewing Company on Friday, August 23rd starting at 5:30 p.m. Since places are limited, registration is required. Members are permitted to bring one guest but must request an additional ticket when reserving their spot. Gathering Place will host a brewery tour for Urban Milwaukee members at 6:00 p.m. Tours are optional and if necessary, the brewery will host an additional tour to accommodate members. All members will receive a ticket for a free beer upon arrival.

Gathering Place Brewing Company is located at the corner of E. Vienna and N. Fratney in Riverwest, 811 E. Vienna Ave. For more information about the brewing, including information about the draft beer and where to buy the beer in town, visit their website.

The event is designed to reward Urban Milwaukee’s loyal members and provide a casual opportunity for our staff, writers and readers to come together, drink great beers and talk about urban and other topics. Here’s how it goes: Arrival at 5:30 p.m., guided tour at 6:00 p.m., a free beer and lots of fun.

We would love to share a locally brewed craft beer with you.
